In general I am looking for generic gifts for adults. We did men/women and my husband ended up with a woman’s gifts. So have to change something. So I though if I could find ideas, generic I could assign one to each person so we get something we all like.
Kim says
Love these! I’m going to try the mint sugar scrub. Who doesn’t love a nice sugar scrub around the holidays.
